I'm a cannon fodder, and it makes sense to know XNUMX million points of skills, right?

Chapter 72 Heading to the Mortal World
The city lord of Yao City was killed by rogue cultivators. Once the news spreads, this remote place will become bustling.

Zhong Lingge didn't intend to stay, so he hurriedly said hello to Ai Ye'er and others, and left the unsupervised Yao City.

Lin Xiaojiu was chirping excitedly all the way, happy for the rescued monks and the innocent mother and son.

"If the forging is successful, the child will be shackles for the rest of his life, and his mother will be forced to activate the formation, and will also bear huge consequences. Fortunately, the man named Geng is dead! Huh! These evil people will beg for mercy before they die. Why don't you do human affairs? You might as well be ghosts like us!"

"Of course not. You are the cutest ghost in the whole lower realm."

Hearing Zhong Lingge's compliment, Lin Xiaojiu wagged her tail proudly, her eyes shining with happiness.

"Hehehe, is it true or not? Don't just say nice things to make me happy!"

"Of course it's true. You're the only ghost in the entire lower realm. Of course you're the cutest!"

Lin Xiaojiu was not annoyed by her teasing, and laughed along with her good-naturedly. After flying hundreds of miles away, she curiously asked what would happen to Ding City in the future.

"Will the nearby clan choose another city lord to take charge? If the casual cultivators are unwilling, they won't fall into chaos, right?"

"Chaos will definitely lead to chaos, but it is inevitable. There was no city lord in the Immortal Cultivation Domain originally. Not only during the Tai Chi period, but not even during the period when the lower domain was first separated. The city lord is a position that only appeared in the past 500 years."

The city in the Immortal Cultivation Domain is the result of the labor of monks from all over the region. Not only the clans, but also the casual cultivators put in a lot of effort to build it. During the Tai Chi period, there were even demon cultivators, demon cultivators, ghost cultivators, etc. who worked together to build the city.

Since ancient times, cities have been built to facilitate everyone's transactions. After the Immortal Cultivation Domain was divided into two, the monks in the Lower Domain began to build the city in the ancient Tai Chi style. In the first five hundred years, there was no city lord, let alone a city fee.

"The seven sects and eight tribes established a foothold within 500 years. Gradually, they became greedy and began to develop the idea of ​​a city. Leasing shops, collecting management fees, city entry fees, and various fines all added up to a large amount of money."

"So they let one of their own be the city lord, nominally a guard, but actually just to make money?"

"It was like this in the beginning, but after 500 years of improvement, the role of city lord has been continuously improved. There are still many city lords in the lower domain who perform their duties and serve as a deterrent and management standard. It is not easy to kill them all with a stick."

Zhong Lingge has no feeling for the responsibility of the city lord itself, just like she has no feeling for the concept of sect and family. What she hates is the people who sit in those positions and do evil.

"However, there is no need to have several cities in such a remote place like here. The surrounding clans have been building cities continuously for the past one or two hundred years, which is indeed a bit excessive."

This is just a small corner in the east. There are five or six cities in the mountains. Yao City and Ding City are just two of them.

"If I were a casual cultivator, I would definitely take the opportunity to overthrow the city master system in Ding City, and divide the land near Ding City into a free area. There will no longer be fees for entry and exit. All income from store rents, security management fees, etc. will be used by the casual cultivators themselves. , as long as we are willing to carefully formulate the rules, it will not be worse than now."

"Yeah, yeah, I believe you, everything you said is good!" Lin Xiaojiu was confused when she heard it. She only thought that the spiritual song was clever and everything she said was right.

Zhong Lingge didn't think too much about the future of the city and the casual cultivators. She took the lead and took the first step with the casual cultivators. The subsequent steps required them to explore the path on their own. She couldn't keep dragging others in front.

It was not her intention to take on too many responsibilities. She had done so much by mistake. The purpose at the beginning was just to be lazy, and she ended up here with just a push.

If you go deeper, it won’t be easy and you won’t be able to be lazy. "Let's visit the cities along the way and ask for news about B and B. We can reach Munsu after passing eight cities and crossing a mountain. If we don't hurry, we can get there in less than two months."

The mortal area of ​​the lower domain is located in the gaps between the five major plates in the southeast, northwest, and northwest. There are five large countries, seventeen small countries, and many nomadic or reclusive tribes in the eastern mortal gap.

All the major sects in the Immortal Cultivation Domain have recruitment points at the borders of the gaps, making it convenient for ordinary children with spiritual roots to register, and for countries and tribes to pay tribute.

The ordinary world does not mean that there is no spiritual energy at all, but the spiritual energy is so thin that it is difficult to practice during the Qi refining period. However, the mysteries of the world are endless, and the ordinary world will occasionally produce some heavenly materials and earthly treasures with spiritual energy.

For monks, it is a waste of time to look at these mortal objects. Sects with a little reputation do not accept tribute from mortals.

Only those small sects that are too poor to operate will collect the mundane tribute and sell it by the pound, or refine and purify the spiritual parts, and use them as low-grade materials to refine low-grade magic weapons.

The female cultivator who entrusted Zhong Lingge with the Phoenix Jade Pendant came from the Xia Jin Kingdom, the largest mortal country in the east. The current Emperor and Queen of Xia Jin are her biological parents.

Zhong Lingge walked all the way and looked at the jade slips she left behind. In addition to the story books and miscellaneous stories, there were several jade slips that reflected her experiences and insights from traveling to various places, occasionally mixed with memories of her ordinary childhood.

In these detailed records, Zhong Lingge gradually had a more complete image in his mind.

This female cultivator named Xia Yun lived an extremely privileged and exquisite life from birth to the age of five. Her father, the emperor, and her mother were loving and harmonious. They treated her and the prince brother equally, and she could even attend the classes of the future monarch.

In horse riding and shooting skills, in reading and writing, Xia Yun is not inferior to his brothers and sisters in the clan, and his intelligence is far higher than that of ordinary four or five-year-old children.The royal family was well-informed and judged that she might have spiritual roots. They were overjoyed and sent her to the recruitment center for testing. Sure enough, the Xuanpin Five Spiritual Roots were tested.

In order to allow her to enter the sect, her parents asked people to visit many recruitment points. Three families were willing to accept, but the prerequisite was that Xia Jin State would pay tribute to them, and it was impossible to achieve the requested amount even if they exhausted the treasury.

Xia Yun, who had had ideas since she was a child, flatly refused and asked her father to send her to the mountain where the old Imperial Master lived in seclusion. After begging for a day and night, she finally knocked on the old Imperial Master's door and took her in to learn how to draw Qi in. body.

The old master did not accept her as his disciple, but only taught her what he knew all his life, and when she was 13 years old, he asked her to go to the realm of immortal cultivation to seek a breakthrough.

Xia Yun was mentally prepared before going to the Immortal Realm. He knew that this was a place where chaos and opportunity coexisted. He also knew that once he entered the Monk area, the identities of princes and nobles would become a cloud.

But she still resolutely embarked on the path of cultivation, full of longing, vowing to be an unusual casual cultivator and carve out a world that belongs to her!

However, it is counterproductive.

There are too many monks like Xia Yun in the world who come to the realm of immortality with passion. Whether they live or die, the results they seek are far from the causes they want to sow.

This is the cruelty of heaven. No one can ever imagine when the next disaster will come and what consequences it will bring.

Zhong Lingge is no exception.
